    MasieE I haven't the experience to offer you the wonderful words of advice you have been given. I just wanted to say my thoughts are with you during this time. I hope you get a good swift testing

    I don't know how helpful this might be. I enjoy Amy's gluten free chunky vegetable soup. Lately the only place I've found it is amazon. This soup wasn't as filling as I wanted. So I put in 1/3 of a cup of rice and cooked the soup for 20min. It was so tasty and filling. A good lunch that I can eat at home or take with me.

    Yes it is expensive. Especially when you have to accommodate 2 dietary issues. My partner was diagnosed with diabetes just after my diagnosis. He relies on me. But he does eat out several times a week. I do not. Too scared for sure. Luckily really only the different bread is an issue. The gluten free food is crazy expensive and prices vary from store to store...

    I went to my pcp yesterday because of elevated blood pressure. I was feeling nauseated and had loose bm the day before. Still nauseated. Had a bit of fever. I've traced every mouthful I've had. No gluten. No new foods drinks or meds. Then I thought this could all be something else. Just a random stomach bug. But I read an article about sharing toasters with...

    For me it was several months. During covid it was difficult to get appointments with GI doctors. I had 2 visits to the ER because of vomiting and diarrhea. Even with referrals it was hard to get appointments. I was scheduled for 10 weeks. Then the office got shut down due to practioners coming down with covid. Then more waiting. Finally an appointment. Then...

    Not sure how to go about explaining. During my endoscopy damage to my esophagus was found. (There is a history in my family of peptic ulcers which is why I agreed to the procedure in addition to my colonoscopy in the first place.) My doctor prescribed the PPI at that time. One of my problems had been a dry cough which was like a dry heave. With the PPI there...

    I just read somewhere here that a Dr was upset at someone not taking their PPI. This I take for GERD and after my accidental gluten poisoning I couldn't keep anything down for several days. My GERD is still giving me problems 2 weeks on. I'm waiting on an appointment to have my PPI increased. Is it just me?

    Very true. Luckily for me my family were helping me. Checking out the trays because I had to lay on my sides for several days and couldn't always see for myself, Bringing me food

    No but only because I don't like coconut. It seems to be gluten free. For myself I use the Stoneyfield brand either plain or vanilla and add what I like to it

    I totally agree about the grocery stores. You have to be so vigilant. When I was hospitalized for spinal fusion I had trouble with my meals having gluten foods. My family brought in protein drinks and small containers of safe for me foods. You would think a hospital would get it right but not necessarily so.

    As I read more and more I'm overwhelmed by basically not really understanding what I'm reading. People explain reactions physical changes in our "gut" I don't eat out anymore. Too dangerous. I'm retired and except for grocery shopping I stay in the house. Sometimes I think I'm getting it but when I try to repeat it to family members I don't know what I'm...

    Before I was diagnosed with Celiacs I was being treated for diverticulitis. The pain in my left side was so severe I ended up in the ER twice in 2 days. After that I was diagnosed with GERD. Because of the pandemic it was months before I could get in to a gastroenterologist. Eventually I was diagnosed with celiacs. My question is are these things related...

    For me when I got beyond sips of water I had tea and then Stony field organic whole milk probiotics yogurt. It was recommended to me. We had the vanilla already. I figured getting active cultures in my tummy might help. I took it slow. But it did help. I hope you feel better soon🤗

    I'm curious about the effects of gluten poisoning. Is it unusual after a year of 100% no gluten that when I ate gluten again I was vomiting etc for several days not hours? Is it relative to the length of time gluten free or the amount of gluten consumed? Is it different for everyone? Susan, you felt awful for a week. Is there any way to know the damage done...

    Trents. I truly believe that following the gluten-free diet is way better then sitting in the bathroom with a trash can on my lap for several days. Until this recent bout I felt cheated. But the relief of feeling well again, well it'll do. I wondered about the chills. Along with the shakes or trembling. I read the shakes were the body's reaction to the huge...

    I should have read the label before purchase. It was Ezekiel bread and if I had read the label I'd have seen the wheat listed. As I think it over it occurs to me that back in the 70s to early 80s a friends mother was diagnosed in her early 40s. She died within 2 months of her diagnosis. As an adult now I wonder if celiac really was the cause. But anyway I...

    Yes I was diagnosed after my colonoscopy and endoscopy. Before being diagnosed my sister an RN advised me to try following the BRAT diet until my diagnosis. After that, I followed a strict gluten free diet.As a matter of fact, I was hospitalized for spinal surgery a year later. For a good deal of that time I was stuck with gluten free meal replacement drinks...

    Recently I ate a sandwich from what I thought was gluten fee bread. It said no flour. But I wasn't wise enough to realize that spouts didn't guarantee gluten free. It wasn't the same. I couldn't keep even swallows of water down or in for 3 1/2 days. Because I initially was diagnosed during the pandemic it took months to be diagnosed. Hard to get appointments...
